Abstract
- Endophytic bacteria were tested in the postharvest biocontrol of Monilinia laxa and Rhizopus stolonifer in stone fruits. Of a total of 122 strains of these sub-epidermis micro-organisms isolated from various horticultural sources (cucumber, eggplant, pepper, tomato, zucchini, apricot, peach and plum), approximately twenty showed greater than 90% control of the given pathogens. R. stolonifer appeared to be less susceptible than M. laxa to the endophytes. The influence of conidial concentration of M. laxa and of antagonist/pathogen contact time on the effectiveness of biocontrol were also evaluated.
